travis is an example of great band which they dont took thier rights of fame like some others bands in uk that they are not that good,im from morocco and im fan of every and each good music,scotland and ireland they gives masters of music and i hope that english ppl knows that
I had the pleasure to be at one of the small concerts in it was amazing. With less than 1000 people in, TRAVIS rock the hell out of that place! PS-they sing way more better live than this. Really.
@smellytoaster its a normal guitar :) try rolling off on the treble and the mid(maybe) and increasing the bass, that works for me :)what guitar do you use btw?
@urgnomen it's such a perfect tone though, listen to a lossless (or high quality) version of this song with nice headphones, it's crazy. Doing what you say, I get closer to the sound. Also I hear Andy Dunlop uses his fingernails instead of a pick. I play a Fender HSS Strat and a 1984 B.C. Rich NJ Series Ironbird.
A good, energetic song by a good, energetic band. My favourite songs off of "the boy with no name" are "my eyes", "under the moonlight" and "selfish jean". :)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Its about nothing brother-a meaningless,soul-ess jumble of inanities,added to a blander than bland instrumental background-purely designed to sell-fancy something cool from '07...try punching in 'About Your Dress'-The Maccabees!
Im from Guadalajara Mexico. This guys came and gave us a great concert... Great Night...Francis was right, Im Still talking about it (Klaus! Klaus! Klaus!) If you went to that concert, yo will understand that..
what do you mean too upbeat for travis ? they can do anything they are GODS.......listen to !all i wanna do is rock!......even more adorableand fran is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sexy xxxx
I agree wendy Fran is like a cute, sexy wee frog that plays the banjo, has magical powers and lives in your handbag. Whenever your down you open your handbag and wee froggy Fran strums away and sings you a cheery ditty. MMMMMMMM wee froggy Fran, sing for me you gorgeous wee amphibian!!
Lisalovesandy2, you told me you loved me and now I find out you love andy!! and on youtube.....waaaaah you heartless cow, I faked all those orgasms by the way!!
The song is based on an evolutionary theoretical book by Richard Dawkins titled 'The Selfish Gene'. The general idea of the book is that humans only exist as a vehicle for their genes to reproduce, and that, in effect, human feeling and life are trivial.
The Selfish Gene does not imply, let alone state, that human feeling and life are trivial. That is a slur put about by fundamentalists. Modern Neo-darwinian theory is a morally neutral explanation of the origin of complex life forms. It contains no comment on the value of life or feeling and does not exhort us to be selfish. And the song's title is just a pun.
Great tune, welcome back lads. Cant help thinking though that the opening instrumental sounds a bit like S Club 7, Reach for the Stars!! em...well so my wee sister tells me :)
Im going to write a movie just so I can put this song in it
